New at the festival
If you've been to the festival before, you might be wondering if it could get any better. The answer is it can, and it did!
Slurp and stay package
For visitors coming to Halifax for Oyster Fest, we've put together a special package with the Halifax Marriott Harbourfront Hotel. Stay on the waterfront, slurp at the festival and enjoy.
Shucking Competition
Halifax Oyster Festival is home to the Nova Scotia Oyster Shucking Championship. This year the festival will rename the trophy to the John Bil Memorial Trophy in honour of John Bil, "icon in Canadian seafood" according to restauranteur David McMillan. Bil was a host and judge in the first year's of the Halifax Oyster Festival and was very generous with his time and wisdom. The Friday and Saturday afternoon sessions open to amateur shuckers. Saturday night is PRO TIME. Compete for bragging rights and cash. JF Daigle from Maison BeauSoleil is the 2017 champion.
